What E6 kits are you guys using?

I think because fuji have their Fuji Europe regional setup, providing Fuji Europe order sufficent quantity from Japan they can still do it. I guess there isn't enough demand in the US for Fujifilm USA to order large enough quantities which is the reason I was told by Fuji UK that some of their products aren't supplied to some regions.

The kit can be had for £110.46 in the UK which is enough for around 40 35mm films. Not cheap even here. I hate to think what shipping to US would be.

But you can buy the individual chemicals in the US but only in larger quantities by the look of it.

It would be cheaper for me to send them to a lab. I pay 2.38€ to have my slide film (135/120) developed by Fuji themselves (I think their plant is in Germany).

There may be hope that the Fuji Hunt kits might be available again in the U.S. soon. I got this response from the European source, Ag Photographic today when I contacted them about availability.

"We are currently working with the shipper to get approved to send these – the problem is that, in the last couple of years, things have been tightened up shipping this sort of stuff. We used to have no problems and regularly sent these kits to the US and other international destinations, but we have an issue with the one component being in a 3 litre container – they have a thing about the size of the individual containers not exceeding 1L

If you haven’t heard from us in the next 3 or 4 weeks by all means drop me another line,

Best regards,

Matthew"

Oh! Sounds like with a little redoing of the packaging by Fuji these would be shippable again!
